This downloadable murder mystery game drops your guests into a Clue-inspired whodunit set inside a sprawling candlelit manor. Every guest arrives with a secret. Every room holds a clue. From sealed evidence and blueprints of the manor to motives no one wants exposed - your dinner party is about to become a crime scene worth solving.

Step into Ravenwood Manor, where Lord Slate has been anonymously blackmailed into hosting a dinner party for very particular guests - every one of them carrying a secret worth hiding. The candlelit table is set, the wine is poured, and attendance was never optional. Before the last course is served, someone will be dead. Your guests will piece together a web of blackmail, hidden identities and long-buried crimes to uncover who turned this dinner party into something far more sinister.

This is a downloadable and printable Clue-inspired murder mystery party kit, designed for in-person party games and supporting 7-12 players.

Cast of the night

Every guest at Ravenwood Manor tonight was blackmailed into attending, each one carrying a secret they'd rather keep buried:

  • Lord Slate The reluctant host of tonight's dinner, blackmailed into gathering this group under one roof. Someone wants the truth about his fortune.
  • Lady Lavender A well-travelled woman with an accent no one can quite place. Refined, poised, and always three steps ahead of everyone in the room.
  • Dr. Marigold An eccentric, disbarred doctor who pushed medical science well past the point of ethics. Not someone you'd want operating without a second opinion.
  • Captain Sable A weather-beaten ex-sailor with a loose moral compass and a worse reputation. One job went very wrong, and Sable's been paying for it ever since.
  • Missy the Maid Bubbly, flirtatious, and far more calculating than anyone gives her credit for. The clumsy act is deliberate. The ambition is real.
  • Butler Buchanan The quiet, invisible butler who knows every corridor and every secret in Ravenwood Manor - and has plans for what they've heard.

And more suspicious guests to fill every seat at the table.

Remember that all My Mystery Kit murder mystery games can be personalized. Adjust character details and backstories to match your guests, ensuring everyone has a role they’ll love. After purchase, use the customization portal to create a night that feels truly one-of-a-kind.
